A component of the RoNoMar project is to establish an effective web-based distance learning center, adapted to the current status of lifelong learning in Romania. This component bridges the existing gap in adult education, with a strong focus on specific training requirements of the naval industry.

The ADL learning platform is the result of this work direction. Currently, the site is in the testing phase, with some online courses going into testing stage, while others are still work in progress. Most courses are focused toward maritime training and education, but some of them can be adapted to other domains.

The site has a multi-language user interface, so that it can be used by foreign students and teachers for courses in a commonly agreed language. The image on the left shows the frontpage of the site when the Norwegian language is selected.

While ADL is the virtual home of the lifelong learning initiative, there is also a real-life building for the Lifelong Learning Center, where meetings, seminars and face-to-face meetings can take place. These office premises have been refurbished with RoNoMar funding and equipped with training, simulation, and IT&C equipment.
